WACO, Tex, Feb. 2O.-Peter Sneed is
the man who was accidentally shot by
DR.. w. Il. Thompson, in the melee in the
eastern part OF this county last Monday,
which resulted in Thompson's death.
When the accidental discharge of Thomp-
sons pistol inflicted slight flesh wound
in one of Sneed's legs, the two Plppins,
father and son, who are relatives of
Sneed, made q rush on Thompson and
killed him. At first it was thought that
Sneed's wound was of trivial nature,
but blood poisoning set in and the news
comes from the country to-day that Sneed
will undoubtedly die. Thus another
death grows out of the trouble.

same place occurred. Another coincidence, which
